Product Overview
The Corsair Dominator® Platinum builds on the legacy of the world’s most awarded high-performance memory, adding a striking new industrial design and LED lighting effects. Like all Dominator memory modules, they are built using only select memory ICs, highly-screened for performance and stability, and feature our patented DHX® (Dual-path Heat eXchange) cooling technology, so you can push them to the limit.

The new design will look great in your current system—or your next build—and the user-swappable light bar lets you customize the LED lighting to match your rig. You even can connect Dominator Platinum to the Corsair Link system to monitor temperature and activity. It’s memory with both muscle and finesse.FeaturesHand Screened Performance IC'sUsing best of the best IC's available leads to highly overclockable memory

DHX coolingPatented technology pulls performance-robbing heat away from the modules and allows Dominator memory to run at a cooler temperature.

In computing terms, system buses are used to connect various components to the motherboard’s core logic and, often, to each other. Modern PCs run with a multitude of high-speed buses ranging from the interconnects between, say, the chipset and the CPU, graphics card, memory, and peripherals.

The amount of RAM (Random Access Memory) in a system is an important factor in its overall performance. So to is that RAM’s speed and latency. Whether the RAM is operating in single- or dual-channel mode is also important. So what is dual-channel?

If you've used a computer for any duration of time you'll have come across the terms “kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte” and so on. Then there's “kilobit, megabit and gigabit” to add a bit of confusion and to top it all off you've maybe heard or read terms like “gibibyte” on occasion.
